i 'm not sure what type of cold/virus it is but yesterday i felt fine, then last night i started feeling a little clogged up and then when i went to bed i could hardly sleep because my throat was so sore! i kept waking up all night long almost gasping for air. anyway, on my way home from work this morning, i stopped and bought a new jug of nyquill, came home and took a large dose and sat down in my stressless recliner with a bunch of cd's loaded in the stereo and drifted off for 6 hours of upright nirvana! i still feel a little crappy right now but i'm not going to nyquill myself again until bedtime (i may need to operate some machinery:)
